Gasim determined to build state-of-the-art hospital in Maamigili

Maamigili constituency MP and leader of the Jumhooree Party, Gasim Ibrahim has said that he is determined to build a state of the art hospital in Maamigili.

Founder of the Villa Foundation, business tycoon Gasim Ibrahim made this remark speaking at the ceremony held at Maamigili.

Gasim said that a technical team from Europe will be visiting Maamigili on January 7 to initiate the technical works of the hospital. He said that they will be finishing this work within 10 days. He said that after the work of the technical team is concluded the construction works will begin according to the counsel of the team.

Gasim said that the hospital will be managed by Europeon doctors. “I believe that a thing can be fulfilled by the experts of that field. Therefore, this hospital will be run with the partnership and assistance of professional doctors from Europe,” he said.

Gasim noted that the construction speed might not be as fast as hoped because of the economic drawbacks that the world is experiencing today.

Meanwhile, Gasim was recently conferred with the degree of Doctor of Entrepreneurship (honoris causa) by Open University Malaysia at their 13th convocation held on 16th December 2012 at Merdeka Hall, Putra World Trade Centre, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The honorary doctorate award was  conferred on  to Gasim by the Chancellor of Open University Malaysia, Datin Seri Jeanne Abdullah.

In his acceptance remarks, Gasim spoke about the lack of availability of educational opportunities during his childhood in Maldives and that he felt that this honour signifies that what one has learnt over the years can be measured in broader terms of lifetime accomplishments as an alternative to a conventional classroom attainment.
